Just reading posts on this thread from February 2011, god I miss the upbeatness we all had. But, since TFS was only announced in late February and MAN around the same time too, perhaps there's still time for us to get some good news.
Great to see LPL is going daily, and still believe we'll see STN double daily at some point soon.
One interesting thing to note is that Prestwick and Liverpool had higher passenger numbers last year compared with 2007 levels. So some routes have already basically recovered from the recession.
